Answer:

Hence among the options a and c, option d is that the correct answer because it has rock bottom energy ( as n value increases, energy decreases as energy levels come closer).

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength is:

$\Lambda = hC/E$

From this equation, it's clear that wavelength and energy are inversely proportional to every other. The Lower the energy of a specific transition, the longest will the wavelength be of that specific transition.

Among the given options, options b and d are often ruled out, since those transitions produce to release of a photon because it is coming down from an excited state.

The molecules of a substance must have what characteristics in order to be flexible

Goryan [66]

Answer:
The molecules of a substance which must have the ability to move past one another are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.

For a particular redox reaction, NO-2 is oxidized to NO-3 and Ag+ is reduced to Ag . Complete and balance the equation for this

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The following are the steps to complete and balnce the equation for the given reaction

Explanation:

We are given, NO2– is oxidized to NO3– and Ag is reduced to Ag

NO2– + Ag+ -----> NO3– + Ag(s)

Step 1) Assign the oxidation state to each element reaction

NO2– + Ag+ -----> NO3– + Ag(s)

N= +3 N = +5

O = -2 O = -2

Ag = +1 Ag = 0

NO2– -----> NO3– ………oxidation half reaction

Ag+ -----> Ag(s) ……….reduction half reaction

Step 2) Balance the element other than O and H

NO2– -----> NO3–

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 3) Balance the O by adding 1 H2O for 1 O

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3–

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 4) Balance the H by adding H+

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 5) Balance the charge by adding electron

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+ + 2e-

Ag+ + 1e------> Ag(s)

Step 6) Balance the electron in both half reaction

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+ + 2e-

2 Ag+ + 2e------> 2 Ag(s)
